replace sstab control

My app has a couple sstab controls. Once in a while i get errors that Component 'TABCTL32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid. This is a rare occurance, but have decided to replace the sstab control without having to install another ocx. Seems i have read where users have used frames with command buttons as tabs is the best way ? or ?

If you are not going to use another OCX then you have to use the materials you have so that frames and buttons are as good as way to go as any.

I'm not sure how it is going to look though.

FYI.

thanks i read that. My installer requires admin via manifest. A user trying my demo gets the error they just try the next app and bail. They will not do anything, so i will just delete the ocx and go a different route.

You can use a UserControl like the one of Steve

So, no problems to register a control.

Thanks, Interesting, but requires an ocx

Perhaps it would require an OCX, but that OCX probably isn't going to give you the registration headaches that 'TABCTL32.OCX' does.

Try getting the full version of the OCX file, instead of the freeware. Well, that's what it seems like. But here is the file you you!!
